Signed drawing entitled ''President Kennedy's Wounds'', rendered by Dr. Robert McClelland, one of the physicians who attended to John F. Kennedy at Parkland Hospital after the President was shot. McClelland was the doctor responsible for holding the President's head as other surgeons tried to save his life, and was therefore in the unique position to see the extent of his head wounds. McClelland has stated that he ''absolutely'' believes there were two shooters, which his drawing suggests, and doesn't rule out the possibility of a government conspiracy to assassinate the President. With the right side of the head in profile, McClelland draws a ''Large Exit Wound'' at the back of the head, with a corresponding ''Small Probable? Entrance Wound? (did not see this)'' near the forehead. He also draws a bullet wound on the neck, stating that it's the ''Entrance wound (I saw this)'', with the corresponding bullet wound in Kennedy's back. McClelland writes at the bottom, ''President Kennedy's Wounds as I saw them'', signed ''Robert N. McClelland, M.D.'' White card composed in black ballpoint pen measures 5'' x 3.5''. Near fine condition.
